Summary: "R" rated - NOT family friendly
Comment: If it were not for the many sexual innuendos in these movies, I would have rated them maybe a 3 because I do enjoy some satire. But I wanted to draw attention that these movies have similar adult humor as in the Simpsons cartoon and Saturday Nite Live....so buyer beware. These movies are not rated professionally but the content should be described on Amazon as to what may be offensive to some. I bought this collection because of 2 reviews on Amazon that said these were clean and innocent enough for kids. Although one did say in the title that not all the Thumb movies were OK for children. I didn't see that person's headline or 1 star..only that they put in their review "innocent enough for children". I goofed and listened to those reviews. I wish I hadn't. If only I could have rented it first but I couldn't find it to rent. Our kids love the Star Wars movies so I thought Thumb Wars and the other thumb movies would be funny to watch together as a family. Sure they're somewhat funny but I wasn't laughing hysterically and we "all" were caught off guard by the sexual innuendos. I'm only going to list their real characters because I forgot their humorous thumb names. Case in point: 1 scene has the Obiwan and Luke thumb characters getting down on the floor and looking up the dress of the hologram of Princess Leah. Another scene has Obiwan telling Luke to make sure he doesn't have any girl clothes on underneath his own clothes? Oh yeah...then there's the scene when Obiwan wants to seal a deal with Luke and asks that they touch their tongues together (which doesn't actually happen, thank God)....and another, where R2D2 and C3PO are getting intimate with each other before someone interrupts them when entering the room. I'm sure there was more. We didn't even finish watching that movie. Our 15 year old had enough sense to walk out of the room. If this is the kind of humor that you want your kids to see, I'm sure you'll love it. As for me, I'm going to try and return the collection or throw it out. Think twice before wasting your hard earned money on them!

Summary: dumb, but dumb is good sometime
Comment: sometimes you just need to laugh at something. the Thumb movies will make you laugh - promise. what an incredible idea, and Steve makes it work.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thumbs Up
Comment: Each thumb movie satirizes it's respective movie in a hilarious way. The movies are clean so the whole family can enjoy them. My children and I find ourselves quoting the lines from the thumb movies often.

Summary: Thumbelievable
Comment: OK, I just had to come up with some stupid pun for my title. Sorry. Anyway, this set is well worth the money. While the rest of the movies are hit-and-miss, Thumb Wars, Thumbtanic, and The Godthumb are instant classics. All it really takes to enjoy any one of these shorts is a basic knowledge of the film they are parodying (if that's not already a word, it is now). More extensive knowledge of the film allows the viewer to pick up on the subtler details of the shorts, details that are well thought-out and sure to provide the well-versed audience with a laugh or two. The variety of the shorts in the box set ensures that almost anyone will be able to sit down and enjoy at least one of these shorts, and for the price at which they are offered, I highly recommend this set.
